What is the enamel pot for?

Enamel pot is a cooker for cooking food.

From the enamel cast iron pan popular in Europe, the colorful colors look very advanced, so what is this enamel? In fact, we should be familiar with it. It is a kind of paint, also called cloisonne, commonly known as enamel. The main body of the enamel pot is cast iron with a layer of Tang (word) attached to its surface.

In fact, from the perspective of pot-making materials, cast iron is the best wok in China. Off-topic, iron nitride technology that is not afraid of rust has also appeared in recent years, which I have written before. Making pots out of cast iron, not only? Heating speed is fast, easy to keep warm, and harmless to human body, but its biggest disadvantage is that it needs painstaking maintenance, and it is easy to rust if it is not dried after use.

Therefore, after coating a layer of non-toxic and high-temperature resistant Tang (ci) on the cast iron pan, coupled with the top manufacturing technology, it can have a gorgeous appearance and corrosion-resistant and rust-proof performance.

Also known as "Buddha Lang" and "Flange", it is actually also called cloisonne, which is a transliteration of foreign words. The word enamel originated from the ancient western place names in Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. At that time, the enamel mosaic crafts made in the Eastern Roman Empire and the Mediterranean coast of West Asia were called "stroke mosaic" or "Buddha inlay" and "Buddha machine", which were simplified as "strokes". After cloisonne appeared, it turned blue first and then enamel.

19 18- 1956, enamel and enamel are synonymous. 1956, China formulated the standard of enamel products, and enamel was changed to enamel, which became synonymous with artistic enamel.
